European Innovation Council: biggest annual funding opportunities for innovators to scale up and capture global markets

by

The Commission adopted the 2022 work programme of the European Innovation Council (EIC). It opens funding opportunities worth over €1.7 billion in 2022 for breakthrough innovators to scale up and create new markets.

The 2022 work programme of the European Innovation Council has several new elements, simplifying the application process and contributing to EU policies such as:

  • A new EIC Scale-Up 100 initiative;
  • Equity investments above €15 million: Notably, the EIC Accelerator will allow companies working on technologies of strategic European interest to apply for EIC investments of more than €15 million. Please note that there is a challenge dedicated to development of Space Technologies;
  • Stronger support to women innovators.
